In today's league, James is the well-deserved number one!
But whenever this sentence is mentioned, countless fans will always refute it——
They believe that James can only form a team and is not capable of leading a team as a single player.
No one is perfect, man!
In any case, one thing has to be admitted, no matter which team James goes to, he is a big player!
Bai Qiang was attracted by James for a moment and stood there stupidly, not even noticing his teammates passing by.
"Hey, Bai! What are you dreaming about again, and you don't even say hello to me?"
Harden slapped Bai Qiang's butt, bringing the latter's thoughts back to the real world.
"James, look at that one!"
Harden looked in the direction of Bai Qiang's finger. LeBron James was warming up.
"It turns out to be LeBron. What can he see?"
As an old rival of James, Harden has often played against each other on the court, so he has long been used to it.
But Bai Qiang is different. Since entering the NBA, this is the first time that he has to compete with the number one player in the league, and it is inevitable that he will feel a little excited.
"He is LeBron James, the number one player in the league!"
Bai Qiang suddenly became a fan of James and actually became a nymphomaniac on the court.
Harden thought to himself, he really has never seen the world. What is so great about LeBron is that his talent is better than ordinary people and his physical fitness is more powerful!
"Bai, who is not James! Instead of looking at him, it is better to look at me!"
Harden said disdainfully, who is the best in the league? The little emperor is old and his time has passed.
As everyone knows, there is a kind of player whose peak will not fade away because of the passing of age——
Players with extreme self-discipline can maintain youthful vitality forever!
"I don't think so, he is LeBron, the little emperor!"
Harden looked at Bai Qiang in disbelief. It turned out that this guy could also say words of praise!
"Hey, stop looking, it's time to go back to the locker room, the head coach is waiting for us!"
Harden was too lazy to continue arguing with Bai Qiang, and directly pulled the latter back to the locker room.
"Guys, today's opponent is not very strong, but we must not underestimate the opponent, because the opponent is the Lakers led by LeBron!"
Nash is telling the players, for fear that these guys will be defeated by their opponents because they underestimate the enemy!
But then again, can a mere James really set off a huge storm?
"Bai, the Lakers' outside shooting is a drawback. The focus of their offense must be to break through the penalty area and cause damage. You have to be extra careful and don't be led into a trap by your opponent!"
The only inside player Nash can trust is Bai Qiang, an undrafted player.
When the Nets faced James, almost no player could take advantage of him. That guy is a pervert, so scary!
Because of this, Nash would warn Bai Qiang in every possible way. If the latter gets into foul trouble, the game will be really difficult to predict.
"Don't worry, coach, I-don't you worry?"
Bai Qiang calmly replied that although he is a fan of LeBron, it does not affect his ability to defeat him on the court!
"Bai, don't be careless. The key to the game is whether you can protect the basket well."
It was the first time Bai Qiang saw Nash with such a serious expression; in the past, he always had a determined attitude and almost ignored his opponents.
On the other hand, this also proves how much psychological shadow James left on his opponents during his season in the league.
Bai Qiang nodded slightly and said no more; the head coach's words made him realize that he should work harder in this game.
In the Staples Center Arena, the fans drank and sang, and the cheers filled the sky were enviable.
This is a treasure trove of basketball where NBA historical figures gather, and its influence is not inferior to that of the Chicago Bulls.
Lakers players ran into the court from the player tunnel one after another, accompanied by the live DJ's exciting introduction and bursts of cheers from the audience.
Kuzma ran into the court first, followed by Harrell, Pope, Gasol, Matthews...
There is no doubt that the last player of the Lakers was LeBron James. When he walked to the center of the court with a king's posture, the cheers from the audience reached a climax.
LeBron James, the undisputed number one player in the league today!
Players from the Nets came on stage one after another. Irving ran into the court first, followed closely by Bai Qiang, Harris, Green, Brown...
Harden made his final appearance. Only in this way can Brooklyn not lose to Los Angeles in terms of momentum.
While the players were sitting on the bench and busy preparing for the game, several NBA stars appeared on the big screen.
Lakers legend Gasol, NBA history scoring leader Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Lakers inside bully O'Neal, they came to the scene just to witness the little emperor's game——
James is no longer at his peak. It can be said that one of his games is one less game.
This also proves that the Lakers' game is extremely popular; for Bai Qiang, this is also an excellent opportunity for him to prove his strength to Quan Mg——
Whether you can sign a big contract depends on whether you can perform exceptionally well in this game.
If the opponent's two inside players are beaten by Bai Qiang, then his strength will definitely be recognized by the team management.
Because Gasol and Harrell are not among the top super centers in the league, but at least their strength is among the top ten.
Last year, Harrell won the NBA's Best Sixth Man trophy when he was playing for the Clippers.
"Beep!"
As the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Bai Qiang and Gasol also made a jump ball at the same time.
As expected, Bai Qiang relied on his outstanding physical talent to play basketball with his hands——
The Nets got the ball on their first possession.
With Davis out due to injury, the Lakers' starting lineup has undergone minor changes.
Point guard Matthews, shooting guard Pope, small forward James, power forward Kuzma, center Gasol.
As for the Nets, Ou Shenxian returned to the starting point guard position, while Taylor was pushed to the bench again.
Harden is still the team's shooting guard, small forward Harris, power forward Green, and center Bai Qiang.
Ou Shenxian brought the ball across the half court and passed it to Harden, who was 45 degrees on the right, and the latter organized the attack.
Bai Qiang ran to set up a pick-and-roll, while Green and Harris were ambushing in the bottom corners on both sides, always ready to catch the ball and shoot jumpers to kill in one shot.
Pope was stuck by Bai's strong body, and Gasol had no choice but to switch defenses. Fortunately, James in the corner also came to help defend and share the pressure for his teammates.
As a result, Harris was left open, and the sharp-eyed Harden immediately passed the ball.
At the same time, James also turned around and ran towards Harris. The pressure from the little emperor made Harris choose to pass the ball.
Bai Qiang happened to cut into the penalty area. After receiving the ball from his teammate, he pushed Gasol away and dunked with both hands!
"kong~"
Bai Qiang retreated back to defense, looked at Gasol with disdain, and touched his head.
For Bai Qiang, no matter who you are, as long as you score a goal, provocation is inevitable.
As young people, it is understandable that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!
